Reviews
It's okay. The prices are cheaper than the campus bookstore, but I would love to be able to choose my book and not have the staff hand me a random copy in order to assure that I have one in good condition. The staff is super polite though sometimes it's annoying. I don't like being called "sir" by someone four years older than me, but it's a personal preference. I know they are not a campus business, but it would be great if they allowed students to pay with their uOttawa card!
I have always shopped at Agora during my undergrad, and will continue to do so for my graduate studies. Wait times are fair compared to the campus bookstore. Placing your order online and picking up in store saves a lot of time!
What is the point ? Twice I go to get two textbooks I was told would be there. The first time, the first week of the semester, I'm told the books will be in the following week. The second time, one week later, after queueing for 40 minutes for the privilege of asking if they're in, I'm told they still don't have them. Get your act together and order the books before the semester actually begins ! Edit, based on the response. Thank you for your answer, I'll sign up for notifications. Bumping this up to three stars, as the issue may not stem from you, but only three for the fact I was told it would be in, but was not.
Always had a good experience here. Never able to find my books in the used écrions, unfortunately. Nice service. Buying books here supports the Student Federation.
Only used the space upstairs. It's very quiet and they offer FREE Wi-Fi!! What a nice combo! You could also buy or rent book!
Need to buy Modern Control Engineering textbook by Ogata. It's $212 at Agora and it's only $190 in the uOttawa bookstore. They keep saying they're cheaper but they're not.
A Good place to look for books and textbooks, however their online selling system is very unfriendly. I have talked to a sales associate about that and he hang up the phone in my face.
Not much saving compared to the main bookstore in UCU that will price match Amazon.ca and give you the difference on a gift card.
Staff forgot to give one book so I had to go back. Went on Saturday at 3 since the website says open until 8. Door said open until 5 for January yet they were closed.
Best prices for uottawa students. Little out of the way compared to the one in the ucu but well worth it
